There’s also a little box garden at the restaurant, as much as a reminder of what we’re around for as for eating—though the lettuce is all ready to eat and is delicious. In spite of having been sat on by neighborly drunks who think a ranunculus looks like a good place to perch for a smoke.

We’re also growing a baby who’s about to hatch, with any luck on this here mother’s day, of whom pictures will surely follow.
